Going to the URL above I see that I need Java v 6 and at least update 10. I have checked my version and I have v 6 update 17!!! Yet it does not work for me. I can remember a lot of problems and messing about with Java before. I still have my earlier version of FF installed so I think that I will stay with that one. I really can't be bothered with all this messing about. If the FF people wanted to change the Java requirements the least they could have done is make it all much easier to set up.
